June 6th at 5:30am is when I will be at the hospital for my surgery. My doctor says it will take about an hour for the procedure. I will have to stay in the hospital for at least one night. My plans are to return to work the following Monday. This Pre-op diet really sucks! I am so hungry! I feel like I could eat an entire buffet bar! But I just keep my mind focused on my goals and how fabulous I will be after I loose all this weight!! I am super nervous, but I'm also very excited!! :)

Congrats and good luck. The pre-op diet get's better after a few days in. What kind of job? If a lot of standing and especially lifing may need a bit more time.

June 6 is my surgery date as well. I plan on taking the following week off and returning to work on Monday, June 18-- thankfully I have an office job so shouldn't be a problem.

I start my pre surgery liquid diet this upcoming Thursday & know its going to be tough but just telling myself that it's only for 2 weeks before & of course 2 weeks after... I can do anything for 4 weeks (I hope!! GULP). I am having some anxiety about the entire thing. I have never had surgery before so this is all foreign ground for me. But I know that this is what I need to do.

Best to luck to you in the upcoming weeks!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
